On the two-parameter Erd\H{o}s-Falconer distance problem over finite fields

Abstract: Given

E s u b s e t e q m a t h b b F_{q}^{d} i m e s m a t h b b F_{q}^{d}

, with the finite field

m a t h b b F_{q}

of order

q

and the integer

d g e 2

, we define the two-parameter distance set as

D e l t a_{d, d} (E) = l e f t l e f t (| x_{1} - y_{1} |, | x_{2} - y_{2} | i g h t) : (x_{1}, x_{2}), (y_{1}, y_{2}) i n E i g h t

. Birklbauer and Iosevich (2017) proved that if

| E | g g q^{f r a c 3 d + 1 2}

, then

| D e l t a_{d, d} (E) | = q^{2}

. For the case of

d = 2

, they showed that if

| E | g g q^{f r a c 103}

, then

| D e l t a_{2, 2} (E) | g g q^{2}

. In this paper, we present extensions and improvements of these results.
